MERIT BEING REcoGNIzED.-The excel
lent standing TO which the High School of
| Sacramento has attained, as evidenced by
| its graduates being received into the State
| University simply upon their graduation
| diplomas and taking high rank in the
| University classes, is not only gratifying to
| the people of Sacramento, and compli-
mentary to our school authorities, but is
being duly observed outside. There are at
the present time several parties from adj
4, Joining towns and counties making in
quiries as to opportunities for sending
their sons and daughters to Sacramento to
attend our High School, and it is expected
that several outside pupils will be there re-
ceived the coming school year.

San Francisco Call, speaking of the con-
struction of the railroad from Benicia to
| OOliOiha COuIlly lie oOutu6Iu
| cltic is not 10 blame for the delay in COM
mencing work on the Santa Rosa and Car
| quinez Railroad. Had the right of way
been secured graders would have been at
| work there month ago. But some of the
ranchers near Glen Ellen have opposed the
road obstinately, and as result they have
| compelled the company to condemn their
property, thus causing fresh delays. The
| contract was let to Turton d Knox some
time ago, and they expect very shortly to
| commence grading"
SYSTEM OF FLTERIEG.-A proposition
will probably be submitted to the Water
Committee of the improvement Associa-
| ton for furnishing a system of filters, of
| the Hyatt design-such as was exhibited at
| the last State Fair-for the city water
works. The cost will be at the rate of $15,-
coo for each million gallons used daily. As
the city at times uses 100000 gallons per
| day, it follows that the cost of the system
will be $4,000. 1t is claimed that the
| filters act automatically and will last many
| years, and that water can be forced through
| them and distributed through the mains
with almost as much pressure as though
| the filters were not used

| Board of Equalization adopted yesterday
resolution to proceed at once to take up the

will go through the city roll first, and then
the county, reading several hours each day
until the work is completed, when parties
whose assessments appear to need attention
will be cited to appear and show cause.
From memoranda already made, it is evil
dent that quite a number of taxpay ers
will have TO show cause"
